You Can´t Save Yourself Alone
“What if we are a dream that someone else dreams? What if we are a thought that someone else is thinking?” Delia and Gaetano are separated and are having dinner together to discuss the vacation of their kids, Cosmo and Nico. Formerly, Delia suffered from anorexia, she was a lovely but timid girl, with many problems and insecurities. Gaetano was the classic young womanizer. They build up a family and dream of a perfect life. But the idyll ends when the man cheats on his wife, and she falls in anorexia again, under the family stress.
The atmosphere is breathless. The continuous jumps from past to present create cracks that make the story flowing. In addition, the two characters are like caricatures of a m?n and a wom?n of the contemporary age, who seek happiness, but can’t satisfy themselves.
